SOCCER PRO’S TOP SHOTS

The Manchester derby at Old Trafford features in the three Soccer pools we are covering this week, but it would take a very brave person to banker either United or City. Rather go for all three results. This week our outright selections come from the Soccer 6, 10 and 13 Pools on Sunday 10 December.

S6 V1 P1 M1 Southampton v ARSENAL: Arsenal can count themselves unlucky in their loss at home last weekend against Manchester United, but are a confident selection to collect all three points.

S6 V1 P1 M5 LIVERPOOL v Everton: This is a Merseyside derby and “Big Sam” Allardyce has had an instant response from his new team and its players, but Liverpool are in such an incredible vein of form there can only be one result – a Liverpool win.

S10 V1 M6 Real Betis v ATLETICO MADRID: Atletico remain unbeaten in the league and although they travel to a Betis team who has only lost once this season on home soil, Atletico should win.

S10 V1 M10 MARSEILLE v St Etienne: Marseille, who are in top form domestically and fourth on the table, should be too strong for St Etienne.

S13 V2 M6 NAPOLI v Fiorentina: Napoli were beaten by champions Juventus in Naples last weekend losing top spot to Inter Milan. They will want to bounce back this week.
